| Final Deal | Offer made from sharks |
Jared has made over 80 products, of which one has shown signs of success. Jared brought one of these products to the tank called Five-Minute Furniture, a patented furniture design geared toward easy assembly.
The sharks inquire about all the inventions, and Jared assures the sharks that they will have the opportunity to give him more money later for those, but today Jared is only offering Five-Minute Furniture
You're saying, 'hey, let's get married," and I'm saying, "hey, hey, hey, buy me a drink first.
Jared has spent $1k of his own money and $250k of investor funds to get to the current point. Jared has no sales after seven years.
As far as we know, the sharks never even looked at the furniture up close, yet Lori and Kevin offer Jared an offer for $250k for the entire company and for Jared to kick rocks. The kicker of it is these investors think their money is dead and gone and if they knew they could get their money back they would be thrilled.
The problem is Jared is making the calls and Jared makes the same amount if the company sells for $250k and pays back the investors as if the company goes bankrupt and the investors lose their money.
Jared is a slick "inventor" only in it for himself. He turns down the offer.
